The world-building was done beautifully and I felt fully immersed in 'New Athens.' While it's mainly a romance novel, I think there is something to be said about the friendships in the book, about women supporting women and protecting and inspiring each other. If you're a girl's girl and like some spice to your books, this is a great book for you.

This book is perfect for you if you want something that’s easy to read, and can act as an escape from reality or whatever.
And yet, honestly, it didn’t captivate me. I’m usually an easy-to-please reader, so not being very interested in a “simple” book like this is weird.

Some factors were definitely not helping.
The main character, Persephone, was annoying to a ridiculous extent. She kept on doubting, misjudging and misconstruing everything about hades. Even when she was proven wrong, she just kept seeing all the bad things, even when these bad things have no substance to be based upon.
Hades was a good character in my opinion. Easy to love despite his flaws.

Last half of the book was hard to drag myself through.
Every time I put the book down to go to sleep, eat and what not, I found it really hard to pick back up.

My favorite part of the book was the portrayal of Hecate and the Underworld.
